One year ago, in September 2021, I reformatted my SSD and reinstalled Win10Pro 64. Then I reinstalled Office 2016 standalone Home+Office.

Looking back through my Windows Update history all the...

The Outlook 2016 shutdown problem seems to be permanent, but the workaround is as follows:

First, never try to shut down Outlook 2016 until five or ten minutes has passed and the double-envelope...

Well, it turned out that my gateway router was not in need of replacement - it just needed to be correctly configured for WPA2-PSK (AES). Bree answered the question about path length, so I thought...

Thanks for clarifying that, Bree!

HseHestedt, the drive mapping sounded great. It gets me right to the desired folder on the SanDisk drive.
But now even more characters (the folder name) are being used up in the path, which is...

Bree, the SanDisk has one partition and its volume name is "233GB". So your idea, kindly appreciated, appears not to be a solution.

This question would seem to be answerable by Arris, but they don't seem to have a clue:

When I plug my 950GB SanDisk Ultra thumb drive into my Arris SBG6900-AC cable modem/router, the SanDisk...

Dalchina, I think you're explaining this correctly. Image dimensions in pixels are absolute, but image dimensions in inches can be a complicated calculation because pixels per inch varies depending...

In Windows Explorer's ribbon, if I choose "Add Columns\Dimensions" image dimensions are always shown in pixels.

Compumind,

I ran both commands. (SFC /scnnow had a typo - a missing letter 'a'; i changed it to SFC /scannow).
Scannow ran without errors.

DISM completed Verification and generated a...

After I close all programs and then shut down my Win10 64-bit PC, I get an odd message that Outlook 2016 (Standalone Office 2016 installation) is 'shutting down'. The message never goes away, and my...

Macboatmaster, I started my PC this morning intending to follow your generous, well-thought-out advice.
Not sure why, but Lo and Behold, before I could begin, on bootup, the desired lock screen...

Hi,
For some reason, since upgrading to Win 10 Pro 20H2, I am unable to set a custom lock screen picture. I can go to Settings\Personalization\Lock Screen and make my desired selection, but the...

ish4d0w, and anyone else following this thread: I have Tuxera installed to make my Macs NTFS-capable. However, it doesn't change the aforementioned 'misbehavior' of the Arris router's USB function. ...

I could only try the various file formats on my two older Mac systems (10.5.8 and 10.6.8). Neither of those systems can be upgraded. Also, any Arris info only applies to my particular Arris model...

My new 256 GB Sandisk Ultra 3.0 USB thumb drive originally showed up in Disk Manager with a main partition of around 248 GB and a system partition of around 200 MB.

I briefly used it in my Win10PC...

ish4d0w makes good sense regarding file security with these ancient Mac systems. It's time to bite the bullet and Spend Money.

Network security can be very complicated for a home user, and when...

I have a DOCSIS 3.0 Arris Surfboard Cable Modem\wireless router gateway, Model SBG6900-ac. If I plug a 233GB, newly NTFS-formatted thumb drive into its USB port, the USB drive appears on the Windows...

Recently a neighbor asked me to help him troubleshoot a printer problem on his Win10 Lenovo laptop, since I've used Windows for decades and am fairly computer-savvy.

Dalchina, you suggested, "in Pro you can set updates to Notify in Group Policy".

While logged in as a standard user, I always get alerts when a Windows Update is going to happen.
Today, as a standard user, I got no alerts about available updates.
But when I happened to log in...

Thanks for the quick re-education, Ed...and also for that Tutmeister link.

As described earlier, In Admin, it shows up as "Shared" with a "Share" button, even with Advanced Sharing's "Share this folder" tick box UNchecked. (see attached)
